    Extractions: Several years ago I planted a dawn redwood in my garden that I had purchased from nurseryman Toichi Domoto. I was curious about its deciduous nature and its similarity to the coast redwoods near my home. To my surprise, it grew very rapidly, several feet a year, and was outstanding throughout the seasons. At the time, I knew only fragments of the history and discovery of this remarkable tree. Over the years, I read bits and pieces learning that it was once wide spread in the Northern Hemisphere, and was until recently thought to be extinct. It is a member of the Taxodiaceae family along with California's two redwoods, Sequoia sempervirens (D Don) Endl. and Sequoiadendron giganteum (Lindl.) Buchholz. Fossils of it have been found from the late Cretaceous period through to the Pliocene. In 1941, from his studies of the fossil record, Shigeru Miki, a Japanese palaeobotanist, gave it the name Metasequoia , meaning "close to" or "before" Sequoia.

    Extractions: This collection consists of scrapbooks and logs pertaining to Oregon trees, logging methods, and wood products. The scrapbooks, arranged by species or other subject, include correspondence, clippings, photographs, and postcards. The logs contain day-by-day and mile-by-mile information on trips taken by Matthews in his search for botanical specimens, wood samples, and rare or large trees. The logs include maps, photographs, correspondence, trip narratives, and receipts. Oliver Matthews (1892-1979), dendrologist and self-described "botanical tramp", traveled all parts of Oregon for more than 40 years in pursuit of trees, particularly the biggest of each species. Matthews graduated from Willamette University in 1913 and later received teacher training as a post-graduate at Oregon College of Education, but had no formal training as a botanist. He served in Europe during World War I and worked as a carpenter and an extra in the silent film industry in Hollywood after the war. He returned to Oregon in 1928 and except for seasonal work as a carpenter and in a Salem cannery, devoted the rest of his life to the study of Oregon's trees. He corresponded extensively with herbariums, state and national forest services, newspapers, and individuals; collected hundreds of wood specimens; discovered a new cypress that bears his name; extended the known geographical range of several trees; contributed extensive botanical specimens to many herbariums; and located, measured, and documented the largest specimens of many trees, including Douglas Fir and Weeping Spruce.

Thousands of animal specimens are kept there, preserved in jars of alcohol. Most are identified by little more than dusty paper cards or crusty labels ? a tribute to pre-computer-era science. Around the world, roughly 3 billion such animal and plant specimens sit in places like the Australian Museum,? with no comprehensive electronic means for researchers to share data about them. Now, after nearly five years of negotiations, a major effort is underway to create an international electronic lingua franca for this sleeping scientific bounty.

71. GROWING HERBAL PLANTS IN HOME GARDENS FOR HEALTH CARE
    The FRLHT has also worked out schemes for production of these plants in differentnurseries and herbariums, so that they are easily accessible to such centres.

    Extractions: Description of Institution ... References 1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1 Title of practice or experience Growing herbal plants in home gardens for health care 1.2 Category of practice/experience and brief description Nature has always been a first-rate drugstore, with its enormous range of plants that are known to have effective therapeutic qualities. The Foundation for Revitalisation of Local Health Traditions (FRLHT) in India has come up with a tested package of plants and medical herbs that are useful in the treatment of common illnesses like fevers, headaches, dysentery, jaundice and stomach problems and which can be easily grown in household gardens and directly consumed by people who may require them. The package of plants selected also includes plants useful for preventive and promotive health care. Since the list is a general list, each and every plant recommended for growing may not necessarily do well in all ecosystems and the individual home garden will have to work out its own ideal mix. The scheme also includes a campaign to get householders to raise nurseries of such plants for sale to primary health centres for the needs of primary health care as a full-time employment-generating activity. The use of plant-based medicines is expanding rapidly throughout the world and any economic activity relating to the growing of herbal gardens and for supply of medicinal plant material is bound to be a viable enterprise. The entire scheme of maintaining herbal gardens is low-cost, relies on the fund of expertise in raising plants already available with village populations, particularly women, and, what is most important, provides an effective way of treating such illnesses without having to consume dangerous costly drugs and pills manufactured in remote factories. Ayurveda already has a list of plants whose efficiency in the treatment and control of common illnesses has been proven beyond doubt over several centuries. The FRLHT has been researching and finalising the list of basic plants for several years and is now busy setting up and supporting initiatives in the directions discussed above.

    Extractions: 17.6 linear feet (17 boxes) BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE Winona H. Welch (1896-1990) was a bryologist specializing in Fontinaceae, and later, the Hookeraceae, at DePauw University in Greencastle Indiana. Welch and Truman G. Yuncker were responsible for the development of the herbarium at DePauw. In 1987, Welch donated that herbarium, which she had named the Truman Yuncker Herbarium upon his death in 1964, to The New York Botanical Garden. On the occasion of her ninety-second birthday, a Winona H. Welch Festschrift was published in Brittonia. Winona Welch was born on a farm in Jasper County, Indiana, three miles northeast of the town of Goodland. She had decided to go to DePauw as a child because she liked the name. But first she had to earn the money. She went for teacher training to Indiana State Normal School at Terre Haute and the College at Winona Lake, Indiana. She taught at the Wildasin, Hancock, and Brook public schools during World War I. In 1919, she entered the freshman class of DePauw. She wanted to major in chemistry but was discouraged from doing so by the head of the department. She turned to biology and from there developed a concentration in botany under Truman G. Yuncker. As his assistant in the herbarium, she helped mount 4,000 specimens collected by Earl Grimes from an area around Russellville, Indiana. Yuncker encouraged her to go to graduate school at the University of Illinois, where she studied plant taxonomy under William Trelease and plant ecology under W.B. MacDougall. Her masters thesis was an enumeration of the plants in Jasper County.

    Extractions: Let me shortly translate it in English: " so that we can find a plays in Padua suitable for planting, growing and conserve single plants for single compounds so that we research we can getting inside for the benefit of human beings ". This is a document from the last day of June 1545, and this is the first public document where a Botanical Garden is created. Last year, in fact, it celebrated four hundred and fifty years. It is considered the first Public Botanical Garden in the World. I mentioned this, to show how old is the tradition of study nature in Italy. That is the first point. The second point concerns with the economical aspects, a beneficial aspects for human beings. What Prof. di Castri has underlined very well this morning. So we are not preserving just per se but we are preserving for the benefit of human beings. Other institutions in Italy almost in the same time or immediately afterwards were created in Pisa and in Florence and I may recalled the correspondence letters written by Linnaeus and Scientist at the University of Pisa concerning the classification of some plants. This documentation is well preserved at the Linnaean Society in London. So there was some will to create something useful for human beings and was wide spread consensus for everywhere in Europe. However Italy was not single Country, but was split in several parts, so was impossible at that time to create something like a Natural History Museum in London, or the Museum National d’ Histoire Naturelle in Paris. However about in the same time, or rather well before, the Botanical Garden in Padua was created with the Herbarium, first is recalled (still preserved today), was initiated in 1532 by Gerardo Cipo and it is preserved now in Biblioteca Angelica in Rome. There is some other once in Florence, which is the largest one by that time, with comprises 17 volumes and more than 5 000 species.

    Extractions: COLLECTIONS OF PETER’S KUNSTKAMMER NATUR-CABINET A copy of the mineralogical collection acquired by Peter I in Germany in 1716. I n the 18th century speculation about the Earth’s composition bordered on the preposterous. The well-known mineralogist Lehmann, for example, stated that «the veins of ore we bare during excavations are nothing but branches of an enormous trunk rooted in the very core of the Earth». The budding science of mineralogy was a descriptive one. It was just making its first attempts to systematize the material according to indistinct exterior characteristics. Russian polymath Mikhail Lomonosov tried to establish a solid theoretic foundation for the young science. One of Lomonosov’s main interests was the origin of amber. This mineral was well-known in the North of Russia: it was called «the incense of the sea». Elizabeth’s court valued it for its decorative qualities. In the 18th century it was generally believed that amber was created as a result of a chemical reaction between sulfuric acid and «stone oil», i.e. petroleum. Lomonosov, on the other hand, tried to prove that such a phenomenon was impossible. He made flies and other insects trapped within amber pieces his witnesses. Lomonosov also paid attention to the crystal structure of different minerals. He tried to establish a link between the exterior shape of a mineral and its inner structure. The prominent scholar pointed out five origins of minerals: compression, fixation, cornation, build-up and intrusion. Surprisingly, modern science also recognizes these processes, but now they have complex scientific terms like «coagulation» and «diagenesis».

    Extractions: Robert Conrow, Ph.D. During her lifetime, the author Vita Sackville-West became something of a "celebrity gardener." Those who were fortunate enough to qualify for her guest list, would travel half way around the world just to catch a glimpse of the lush gardens surrounding her home in Kent, England. Proper gardening in her view required a unique combination of "love, taste, and knowledge." But when asked the secret of her own success, she admitted that she liked to "muddle things up." For her, gardening did not became truly exciting until she could break the rules of more classical gardens. Lately, the caretakers and gardeners at the world's botanical gardens have been "muddling things up" like never before. And a glimpse at their websites indicates that they have been having a very good time of it. The best way to understand the magnitude of what is going on in botanical e-gardening today is to click onto the Gardenweb . This comprehensive site not only contains a valuable glossary of botanical terms but, most significantly, it offers a huge database of gardens that can be searched by type and category. You can start by entering your search for "botanical gardens" or even "medicinal" gardens and, once you get launched, will find that most of these sites will in turn link you to still other garden sites.
